Zax: Oof! Be extremely careful when you talk about "false religions"; especially those that have been there before Christianity. Note that Islam is dying quickly too, but most of those people become atheist. And interestingly enough, there are atheists who don't believe that things like abortion should be a thing and think that people must take personal responsibility more.
Weather Wolf: Buddhism is ingrained in Thailand's national identity and history. You G-52s already know that we come from different backgrounds and beliefs.
Chuong: If everybody was the same, it would be boring. Everybody has a history, and Earth has a diverse history. Romans 13:1 says authorities, in plural.
Juno: In Mexico, a Catholic country, they celebrate the Day of The Dead, where people visit the graves of their ancestors to clean them and honor them. Everybody there paint skulls on their faces and have skull-themed parties. This tradition is also prevalent in Texas' Mexican and some American communities, but with their own more modernized twist to it. Leandro is known to celebrate this too, and it's an integral part to Mexico's national identity.
Leandro: Oh hey it's one of my favorite holidays!
Marshall: And you have people who argue that marijuana naturally exists because God is testing people to see if they will be tempted to use them illegally, hence Thailand decriminalized ownership of the drug but kept the penalty for smoking them. Thus Thailand also distributed the drug to everybody free of cost but on the condition that they do not smoke them.
Weather Wolf: It felt weird at first, but because they encourage entrepreneurship in marijuana pharmaceuticals and other legalized goods as well as medicinal use of them, I can see why. But as a G-52, I'm always going to think this idea is extremely risky and stupid. I'm just surprised my government put that much trust into us but to me, it was also a trap to those who plan to use it illegally.

Super C: That's not a demerit, by the way, Levon. Nobody's perfect.
Levon: I didn't think it was. I just was trying to state what my duty as a Christian was, and where Christianity succeeds where all others have failed. People need the Lord even if they don't know it.
Leo: I think ultimately what you wanted was what I wanted: a world where everything is simple and straightforward, and where everything is easy to understand.
Levon: I did.
Super C: Was it stress from the CNG crisis?
Levon: I think it was.
Cripto: Well, you are what makes you you, so don't stop believing; hold on to that feeling. Know what I mean?
*Levon nods. Super C and Cripto knuckle-bang one another.*

Chuong: If only that was the case Leo but I doubt that's how it's going to work on Earth otherwise the Thai government wouldn't be handing out marijuana plants to their people without charge. Most countries, such as yours and mine, see marijuana as a controlled substance that shouldn't be handed out to everybody like candy. Thailand disagrees despite keeping the penalty for recreational use.
Kang-Dae: Some things will always be complicated here in Korea. We hadn't completely gotten rid of the Cinderella Law; we only revised it where a child and their parents must submit a form to their local government for permission to let them play their online games outside the limit. To me, that makes no sense despite it's intention to make sure kids get a good night's sleep.
Nadav: In Israel, we create segregated spaces for Orthodox Jews to fulfill their stringent requests. In our beaches, we have spaces for Orthodox Jews. Jewish humans for the most part back in the old days had to follow a lengthy set of rules, especially how Jewish male humans maintain their facial hair. Today, most Jews do not identify with the Orthodox sect and most Jewish male humans cut or shave their facial hair off completely. Christianity derived from Judaism, but Jesus does not expect His followers to follow the Jewish ways, despite being of Jewish background Himself.
